Dead Fish Not Floating
Somedays I feel like my life is some big joke that exists primarily for the amusement of others. On a good day I can laugh about the absurdities in my life...other days not so much. Yesterday sucked, but maybe I will write about that another time. Today I woke up on a mission to complete a lot of stuff (see yesterday someone who shall not be named told me I don't do enough - oh yeah that is another story)...so I hopped out of bed at 4am and ran downstairs to do some laundry and dishes. When I got downstairs I was greeted by Georgia's dead fish stuck under a cement basketball decoration (which I am sure was greatly enjoyed by her fish, whatever his name was). What the hell - did it drown? LOL...I am not sure how it got caught smushed up against the glass next to this basketball, but it did. I thought dead fish floated - not this one. Yesterday Georgia and Braden were washing the fish bowl with what seemed like an inordinate amount of soap. I cautioned them to rinse it REALLY well. I doubt that really had anything to do with whats-its-name's death...I didn't want to touch it so I moved the fishbowl to the table and sat at the counter and did my grading. I thought about putting it in Georgia's room and letting her discover it, but that did not seem right. I thought about flushing it down the toilet...I didn't. When Georgia woke up I told her that something sad had happened. She cried - she decided she wanted to bury it in the backyard (later, after school), then she got out of bed and took a shower. I still have to get the fish out of the bowl. Yuck. Dead fish not floating.
